Regarding hollow stringers, look at the inside of the stringers where your motor mounts are bolted to the stringers. You will find a white plug about 4-5" wide (or just a hole if they have been removed). You pull that out to access the nuts for the motor mount bolts. Easy to check for water...

Nope. mast light stays up

My rule of thumb is I need 22' with antennas up, 18' with antennas down. That has worked for me.

I just did some updates via AC and no issues. It did not take that long.....15 mins or so.

I have a 10BTD and have done it a few times. I have a shopvac running and pull the coolant hose off of the HE slowly while vacuuming in the coolant. It still makes a mess. Every time I do it, I think of installing a valve or something to make this easier, but so far, have not. Good luck!

Great comment/advise. I need to ck mine. Thanks

And weight & size.....

The accumulator tank smooths out the water flow and the pump(s) cycle less. it is not a "have to have" but a "nice to have". If you are happy with your system, no need to add one.

Great Shine!

Sure could be. I should have mentioned that as the same thing happened to me on a trip to Bimini in June. We were bouncing around pretty good for 3 1/2 hours. Once docked, I could hear the alarm. Found water by the water heater, but no leaks. Dried everything and no more issues.

My accumulator is next to the water heater.

I have replaced mine twice due to leaks in that floor compartment. I now have 2 water alarms down there now for early warning. My cold water inlet will start to drip every year or two. i just replace the pipe and fitting and all good. i need a better/long term fix. i think the...

I don't have a problem with the policy, it is the conflicting info. Internet has it both ways, Nassau says No, Plantation says yes.....

Thanks for your help. You are running into the same conflicting info as I did. This morning, I did receive an EM response from the Bahamas tourism people: "Please note All visitors must process a valid passport to enter the Bahamas." It's a shame, we were ready to go, weather looks good, and...
